MOAB — The Bureau of Land Management-Utah’s Moab Field Office is hosting a public open house today from 4-7 p.m., in the Salt Lake City Main Library, 210 E. 400 South, Salt Lake City, to provide information about the Moab Master Leasing Plan, draft amendments to the Moab and Monticello Resource Management Plans and a draft Environmental Impact Statement, which are available for public review online.

The Master Leasing Plan considers new leasing of oil and gas and potash on approximately 785,000 acres of public lands within the planning area.

Comment on the proposed plan

Written comments will be accepted by letter or email until Nov. 23.

The most useful comments are those that contain new technical or scientific information relevant to the proposed action and should be as specific as possible.

Comments that contain only opinions or preferences will not receive a formal response but may be considered in the BLM decision-making process. Please reference “Moab MLP” when submitting comments.

Before including an address, phone number, email address or other personal identifying information in any comments, be aware that the entire comment — including personal identifying information — may be made publicly available at any time.

Requests to withhold personal identifying information from public review can be submitted, but the BLM cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so. All submissions from organizations and businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be available for public inspection in their entirety.
